Hi, They are painting eyes and putting on reflective strips on the blades to cut bird strikes down. It's an overblown danger I believe. Of the 30 small windgenerators I've built and installed non have killed a bird that I know of. Here in Fla we have a big problem of buttheads letting cats breed and turning them loose to be ferral. They kill a lot of squirrels and birds but nature has come up with a solution. We have large owls here and I've seen them catching and eating the ferral cats. Talk about loud in the middle of the night!! I'm currently working on non-dam hydro electric generation systems that have the eco impact of a rock the same size. A 10 kw unit is in the design stage now for home and small businesses. A 100kw module for utility use will be next. They will help replace the dam hydro units that may be taken out of service because of eco reasons and the stretches that run at 2mph or more. These will produce serious power with almost nil eco impact. I'm going to test the big unit for eco impact by swimming through it while running. And no I'm not crazy, well at least not about this! ;-) jerry dycus --- light as a feather <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > isn't there anyway to shield? Some sort of enclosure > or something?
